Study Guide-Athens/Sparta Athens Leader created a Constitution which gave Athenians rights, such as freedom of speech. This became a direct democracy. Still you could not say certain thing against the gods. Most free males over 18 could be citizens after swearing an oath to Zeus. Citizens could elect generals or veto decisions when they met in the Assembly, where all citizens could evaluate decisions. This happened many times a year. At 20, they could be randomly chosen in the Council of 500. This group would make daily decisions. This was so that no good speaker could take over since each Athenian should be educated enough to help run the country. One-general rule during times of war. Strong people could be voted out of Athens, or ostracized.
